August 10th, still scorching hot.
The dry and hot weather had caused many trees to wither and die.
In the base, if Li Yu hadn't led some people to water the fruit trees on the mountains a few times, they probably would have withered and died too.
However, the trees by the mountain pond were thriving.
The water in the mountain pond was already reduced to one-third.
According to Li Yu's memories from his rebirth, it should rain in two weeks. Everything would be different then.
It was just that the others didn't know yet; many of them had never seen such a long period without rain in their lives, and their hearts were filled with despair.
Fortunately, there were two wells in the base. Thanks to these two wells, which had been dug before the apocalypse, digging them had been quite an ordeal at the time.
Logically, their area was near the mountains and at the foot of the mountains. Some households could find water just a few meters deep, so people in the plains of the south generally only needed to dig about ten meters.
The well water was also especially good, warm in winter and cool in summer. Many village wells were very good.
However, Li Yu had insisted on hiring a professional well-drilling team, using professional drilling machinery, to dig to a depth of over a hundred meters, making them deep wells.
Generally speaking, wells from ten to sixty meters deep were considered shallow wells.
The two wells Li Yu had built were already deep wells.
The long drought during the apocalypse had caused many rivers to dry up, but there was still some water deep underground.
However, in most parts of the south, people usually dug wells around ten meters deep, thirty meters at most was considered very deep.
The deeper the well, the more difficult it was to build. These deep wells over a hundred meters deep required professional equipment to construct.
Everyone in the base had been resting for a long time. Actually, it wasn't exactly resting, but compared to the previous few months, when they were busy fighting zombies, perfecting the base, and contending with people every day.
Their current state of life could already be considered resting.
Except for young Li Suxin, nine-year-old Xuan Xuan, and a few younger children from their aunts' and uncles' families, they still had to study, but they no longer had to learn subjects like English.
Nine years of compulsory education were still very important. Being illiterate and not understanding some basic things meant that sometimes, learning wasn't just about knowledge; it was about learning some ideas and perceptions.
These things would enrich a person's mind and support them in bravely doing things.
The way they viewed the world and handled problems would change.
Of course, what they learned differed somewhat from the content before the apocalypse. The current curriculum was more suitable for the present apocalyptic environment.
For example, there were lessons on how to fight zombies, methods to deal with zombies, and practical combat courses.
There were also other more practical courses, such as how to plant crops and so on, which were more pragmatic.
These courses were taught by everyone together. For instance, combat and martial arts courses might be taught by Third Uncle and Li Yu, while shooting courses were mainly taught by Li Tie and Da Pao.
Courses like farming and raising livestock were taught by Grandpa and Uncle Lai in the most straightforward language, and other content was taught by different people.
However, the cultural courses were mainly taught by Lai Xiyue.
In addition, others also needed to improve, so the base regularly held activities to facilitate communication among everyone.
This was to enhance their shooting and combat abilities.
During this period, Li Yu had more free time, so he had more opportunities to interact with Yu Tong.
Actually, it was mainly Yu Tong who often came to find him, and sometimes Yang Xiaozhu would also come.
Yu Tong often sparred with Li Yu but was frequently beaten soundly by him.
Yang Xiaozhu occasionally joined in the fun, which made Li Yu feel quite helpless.
Both women were beautiful, but they differed.
Yang Xiaozhu felt more like a girl next door, with a delicate face and a hint of baby fat.
When she smiled, her large eyes blinked, reminiscent of the anime character Asuna.
Du Yu Tong, on the other hand, had an older sister demeanor, but she was unusually obedient in front of Li Yu. Because she exercised frequently, her body had no excess fat.
She was sealed by her sportswear, but occasional movements would offer a fleeting glimpse, breathtaking to behold.
Both women were tall, one was 165 centimeters, and the other was 175 centimeters. Standing together, each had her own unique charm.
Li Yu had a bit of a headache. Yang Xiaozhu, since she was little, like Li Hang, often followed him and Yang Tianlong. He had watched Yang Xiaozhu grow up.
He hadn't expected that a girl would change so much as she grew older, becoming so beautiful now.
Du Yu Tong had always had a good relationship with him. He greatly admired this girl; she was outwardly strong but inwardly gentle, and at her core, she was an exceptionally kind person.
Moreover, her emotional intelligence and intelligence were both very high, and her own combat power was also very strong. Most importantly, after the two met in the apocalypse.
During these several outings, every time Li Yu hadn't even spoken, Yu Tong could sense his thoughts with just a glance. This sometimes gave Li Yu a unique feeling.
Besides Yang Xiaozhu and Yu Tong, when he was studying before, Lai Xiyue also looked at him subtly. It was just that Lai Xiyue had a gentler personality, with an intellectual beauty, and a very strong scholarly aura.
Sigh.
Thinking of this, Li Yu felt a headache coming on.
He watched Yu Tong and Xiao Zhu sparring in front of him. The weather was already hot, and both of them were drenched in sweat in the arena.
Their sportswear clung to them.
MMP.
Just now, when Li Yu was fighting Yang Xiaozhu, Yang Xiaozhu cheated.
…
Two difficult mountains pressed down.
They weighed on Li Yu's heart. Li Yu couldn't stand this kind of pressure.
Life had too many difficulties; he had to endure.
Originally loose.
At the core strategic point, directly subdued by two great mountains.
The small blade of grass, unwilling to submit to the world, even in the cracks, still had to grow upwards, rushing towards a broader world.
At that moment, Li Yu felt the world's malice towards him.
The world always had many limitations for people, tightly binding them.
But he had a heart unwilling to yield; he wanted to break free and rise.
Yang Xiaozhu, innocent and romantic, although already grown up, with a cute face, pouted at Li Yu and said,
Yu Ge, I can fight too! Take me out next time.
After she finished speaking, the mountain also followed her words.
Difficulty swayed.
Li Yu felt a little sad.
He was just one person, just a small blade of grass, even if this blade of grass had grown.
Under the two swaying mountains at that moment, the restraints on him became even tighter.
He wanted to escape so badly, but he couldn't.
